Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 490 Eating Dumplings

Nan Si was right.

The two of them are still young, and even though the ministers are afraid of Dongling's strength, the two countries are separated by a vast sea after all. When Nansi becomes the queen of Donglan, it is impossible for Dongling to be wronged just because her daughter has suffered a little in Donglan. So he went to war and launched a crusade.

With the country as the backing, people dare not ignore the deterrence, but most of the time, it is often not as daunting as a prominent Donglan family.

Dong Lan's powerful and powerful family is prominent, and they can restrain the imperial power invisibly.

And no matter how powerful Dong Ling is, it is impossible to intervene in everything in the Donglan Dynasty, and threats of sending troops cannot be used as a common means.

And when Nan Si became the queen of Donglan, the cognition of the ministers would gradually change. After the initial fear and fear gradually disappeared with the passage of time, all thoughts would come back.

But none of them knew one thing.

Although Ye Junling and Nan Si are young, they are both people who have experienced great storms and played with the imperial power. Their scheming and artifice are far from that of youngsters of this age.

Therefore, it only takes two or three years of negligence by the ministers, and it is enough for them to firmly control the country in the palm of their hands.

After New Year's Eve is New Year's Day.

The rule in the palace is to get up early to eat dumplings for New Year's greetings. The concubines and princes in the harem went to the queen's palace to say hello.

The emperor will also come to Fengyi Palace early.

The queen led the concubines, princes and princesses to greet the holy driver.

This happens only once a year, and this year is the last time the emperor reigns, so neither Ye Junling nor Nansi did anything special, and got up before dawn to go to Fengyi Palace.

The prince greeted the queen, and all the princes greeted the prince again. The rules in the palace are strict, and no mistakes are allowed.

The only person who didn't need to salute and didn't bother to deal with it was probably Nan Si.

Nan Si has a special status, and she lives reclusively. She stays with the prince all day long. Unless necessary, she rarely attends insignificant occasions.

The princes present had gotten along with Nan Si when they were studying in the academy.Later, when the emperor appointed a crown prince, Ye Junling no longer went to the academy, but was taught by the Taifu in the palace, so Nan Si no longer went to the academy.

Afterwards, people met less and less often, and then it happened that the crown prince married a girl from the Cheng family, and Nan Si passed out. When the pulse was signaled, everyone was helpless, and no one even knew the reason for the sudden "death" of Princess Nanxiao.

During those two days, everyone in the palace was in danger, full of ominousness when the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building. The harem concubine always warned her son not to talk nonsense, not to inquire about the affairs of the prince and the little princess, otherwise the emperor would be furious and blame him. No one can protect them.

At first they didn't know why.

After the crown prince and Nan Si woke up inexplicably, Empress Dongling and her concubines came to Donglan, and they realized that Princess Nanxiao had such a noble and prominent background.

No wonder her father doted on her so much.

The four words Tangling Empire are enough to kill all the dissatisfaction and suspicion of the princes, and they finally know why the father gave the position of crown prince to the seventh brother——

This is all for Nan Si's sake.

As for this result, no matter what thoughts the princes had in their hearts, they were powerless to struggle.

No matter what scheming, no matter what party disputes, no one can contend against Ye Junling with the support of his father and the powerful military force of the Tangling Empire.

He really has a unique advantage, and all this is due to Nan Si's liking for him.

Aren't the princes jealous?
how is this possible.

But what about jealousy?

Do they dare to protest against their father, or are they capable of challenging the Tanglin Empire?

Apart from being jealous of Ye Xiaoqi's good luck, they could do nothing but watch and silently accept the facts.

As for the rest...

Their mother and concubine have said that the queen will not give up, and there will definitely be follow-up measures. They just watch, maybe they will be a profitable fisherman in the end.

"Is everyone here?" His Majesty the Emperor turned his gaze, "When everyone is here, let's serve the dumplings."

"Your majesty." The queen said with a smile. After a night of adjustments, she can now perfectly control her emotions, "Why don't you let the princesses of the two countries come over to eat together? After all, the visitor is a guest, so don't be too negligent isn't it?"

"Isn't today a family banquet?" The emperor said in a calm tone, "I will treat the princesses of the two countries well, so that they won't be wronged."

"But they are far away from home. Will they feel lonely on such an important day as the New Year's Eve?"

"Lonely?" The emperor frowned. "It's just a meal of dumplings. What's there to be lonely? Besides, isn't there a family feast at noon? The clan and women will all enter the palace, let them be together then."

Since you know that the visitor is a guest, you should treat him according to the etiquette of a guest.

Who hasn't eaten dumplings?
His Majesty the Emperor didn't think so, and ordered all the concubines and princes to sit down, the emperor and the queen's concubines were at the same table, and the princes and princesses were at the same table.

Ye Junling and Nan Si sat together, and they ate a lot of dumplings, which was considered relaxed and harmonious.

Maybe considering the presence of the emperor, and there is only one day a year, who would dare to make trouble?

The princes and princesses were all very quiet, and they tried to talk about light and interesting things as much as possible. Even Ye Junchen who didn't like Ye Junling, and Ye Baozhu who was annoyed when he saw Nansi, just had a sullen face and remained silent. He lowered his head and ate the dumplings without speaking.

But today the queen seems to have made a mistake, and kept talking in front of the emperor: "The concubine still thinks that if Dong Lan can marry Yan Guo——"

"Queen." Ye Qingli frowned, his expression clearly displeased, "Even dumplings can't seal your mouth?"

The queen was stunned, her face froze instantly.

All the concubines lowered their heads, wisely not to look at the queen's face, but Queen Ling felt that someone slapped her on the face, making her feel hot and embarrassed.

"Hee hee, you deserve it."

Just at this time, a childish and soft voice sounded.

Empress Ling was furious, picked up the bowl in front of her and threw it out: "Get lost!"

The sky is peaceful and quiet.

The hall was as quiet as death.

The emperor, the concubines, the crown prince, the palace servants... everyone in the hall raised their heads, turned their heads, and looked at the queen in disbelief.

Empress Ling realized what she had done, and her face turned completely pale.

"Is the queen dissatisfied with me?"

Ling stood up stiffly and knelt down: "The concubine dare not."

Her mind went blank, and she didn't even know how to explain the situation.

Honestly?

If, like Le Wei, she yells that someone is pretending to be a ghost, the emperor and all the concubines will only think that she is bewitching, unless everyone else has heard this voice...

But obviously, the others didn't hear it.
